About Standard Therapeutics
WELCOME TO THE DIFFERENCE
135 years of the difference.
During the late 1800s, Dr. Shaikh Abdul Hameed Ali, the great-grandfather of W. Ali Ahmed and Hasan Ali (Co-founders, Standard Therapeutics), Dr. Abdul Hameed was a practicing physician and homeopath based in Calcutta and is credited with originating the concept of Integrated Medicine, which involved combining the best of conventional medical practices with his unique methods of diagnosis. His ability to effectively treat ailments using this approach made him increasingly popular among patients seeking his treatments.
Circa 1970s, their eldest uncle, Dr. Mosaraf Ali, was completing his medical studies at the International Centre of Medical Research in Moscow (then part of the USSR). It was during this time that he became interested in the body's innate healing power and its ability to cure diseases on its own. He didn't realize then that his research would lead him to continue the work of his grandfather in the field of integrated health. Dr. Ali reached out to my father, Dr. Mohsin Ali, who was also studying at the time in Singapore, and the two decided to explore this relatively unknown approach of integrating different diagnostic and treatment methods.
The London Conference
While attending a conference in London in 1991, a fortuitous encounter with HRH The Prince of Wales revealed that he shared a deep interest in various traditional methods of healing. This chance meeting spurred the conceptualization of the first Integrated Medical Centre, which was situated in the heart of London's medical district. The centre was home to 33 renowned practitioners and offered cutting-edge treatments to high-profile individuals from around the world. Such was the centre's popularity in the 2000s that it had a minimum 6-month waitlist for an initial consultation appointment.
For more than six decades, since the early 1950s, their family has provided medical services to an illustrious clientele worldwide. This has included royalty, sitting presidents, and notable figures in sports, entertainment, and business. Their patients have also included prominent personalities from Hollywood and Bollywood, as well as political leaders, artists, and musicians. In total, their practice has aided tens of thousands of patients across the globe.
Royalty, celebrities, and footballers were among the frequent visitors to the centre, and it was not unusual to see TV personalities in the waiting room, all seeking to experience the healing power of The Ali Technique. For many, the centre represented a last resort, a place where the tired and exhausted could find hope and healing.
Dr. Ali and his family have made significant contributions to the field of complementary and alternative medicine by uncovering the unique role of the neck in promoting optimal brain and body function. In their seminal book, "The Neck Connection," they introduce a distinctive treatment approach that involves massaging the front and back of the neck to enhance circulation to both the conscious and subconscious parts of the brain.
Their treatment method focuses on addressing areas that may experience decreased oxygen and nutrient supply following brain injuries, strokes, motor-accidents, hypoxia, and other conditions. Through years of practice and research, they have developed a specialized technique known as the "Ali Technique," which involves manual treatment of the neck muscles that support the carotid and vertebral artery to improve circulation, oxygenation, and rejuvenation of brain tissues.
Their groundbreaking discovery has not only provided relief to countless patients but has also paved the way for the emerging field of integrative medicine.
Their family has played an instrumental role in establishing this field, which combines alternative medicine, evidence-based conventional medicine, and other practices to create a comprehensive "system of systems." This holistic approach considers the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients, and provides a personalized and effective approach to promote wellness and manage chronic illnesses.
Through their pioneering research, advocacy, and clinical practice, Dr. Ali and his family continue to inspire and transform the field of medicine, offering hope and healing to patients worldwide.
The Family purports— the body has tremendous inner healing power and can heal itself from a wide range of conditions. The same principle which heals wounds and accidents and helps in recoveries from surgeries. This supports the hippocratic principle of medicine– given the right environment, the body can heal over 80% of conditions.
